Sentosa Island, Resort area near Singapore
Apart from its natural advantages including sandy white beaches, there are numerous man-made attractions and lots of beach activities such as pedal cars, aqua-bikes, fun bugs, canoes, windsurfing and swimming. There is also fascinating flora and fauna, historical enclaves, adventure theme parks and golf. Its many attractions include Underwater World, Asia's first and largest tropical fish oceanarium. This is where visitors can come face-to-face with more than 5,000 tropical marine creatures as they walk across the bed of a vast tropical ocean separated from sharks, huge fish and other marine life by a specially designed tunnel with acrylic walls. Further on is the Sentosa Orchid Gardens, with its exotic display of orchids from around the world including a flower clock, a carp pond, a 'Bell of Happiness' and a Japanese tea house. From there, stroll to the Flower Terrace with its profusion of bougainvillaea, canna, lantana and maiden's jealousy, where you can rest in a gazebo and refresh before walking around the European-style Fountain Gardens with more than 2,500 plants from 105 different species.  The Butterfly Park and Insect Kingdom Museum is one of the largest
collections of butterflies in the region with some 2,500 butterflies, and
insects from more than 50 species including rhino beetles and scorpions. In
an environment replicating nature as closely as possible, it is a monument
built in remembrance of the hundreds and thousands of these tiny creatures
lost due to increasing urbanisation and deforestation worldwide.For a taste of adventure, explore three Asian villages (East Asia, South Asia and South East Asia) by monorail, discover a lost civilisation and ruined city along the waterfront promenade, treat yourself to the ultimate water ride over river rapids and enjoy the multimedia entertainment in VolcanoLand where a subterranean journey traces the beginning of the world and the evolution of life. If history interests you, Fort Siloso is Singapore's only preserved fort and dates from the 1800s. It is a four-hectare complex with tunnels, bunkers, cannons and machine gun ports where it is possible to relive the life of a recruit with a sensory adventure including war games. The Maritime Museum traces the development of sea-going craft from simple fishing boats to the modern technological giants that make Singapore one of the busiest sea ports in the world.
